It's Only a Myth

A survey says Canada's a great place to live
I'll vouch for that, my bias, please forgive
Except for our winters
Creating white whiskers
And the rumour we have summer is only a myth

Actually what I wrote was a bit of an exaggeration! Our summers can get extremely hot, but SHORT! Love, Jack xxx

PS. If you two ever get together... I'll be a hot place!... No matter where ever you two are... You two could invent the first Canadian summer... Become heroes... And get metals for it, too, in the process... Just Saying...

Maybe I'll road trip for a ballgame with the boys. Do the Monarchs still play? Or Expo's ?

Expos are long gone... Monarchs??? Now the Blue Jays are alive and well! Early 90s was their time in the sun! Was quite a ball fan in my younger days! In Montreal way back in 1946, my dad and I attended Jackie Robinson's first professional game ever with the old Montreal Royals of the International League!!! How about than!!! Cheers, Jack
